Proceedings of the 9th World Congress on Pain: 16 (Progress in Pain Research and Management)

These proceedings from the 9th World Congress on Pain held August 22-27, 1999, in Vienna, Austria, relate to the Congress theme "Pain: from Molecule to Mind" and offer a comprehensive overview of the status of pain science and medicine today. Pharmacological, physical, psychological and cognitive approaches to pain management are discussed, as are complementary approaches to pain modulation and the ancillary benefits of pain research. Neuropathic, nociceptive, inflammatory, and sympathetic-related pain are dealt with extensively. Here is an opportunity to view at a glance the entire field of pain science and medicine, and to test and improve your understanding of topics with which all pain professionals should have at least passing familiarity.
